Sad and Confused...My friend shot his mother on Mother's Day
No this isn't a headline to shock or get your attention. A dear friend of 15 years shot and killed his mother on Mother's Day. He then took a handful of pills and tried to commit suicide. Although he was unsuccessful in killing himself, he will most likely never come out of the coma he's now facing.

Although this sounds awful, and it is, there is a back story. My friend has been caring for two ailing parents for 10 years. His father died two years ago. His mother, suffering 9 years of dementia, has had almost no memory for the past six years.

I was almost believing it until this:

Why does this happen in the most powerful nation in the world? Actually HOW does this fucking happen? When I hear Republicans calling for cutting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc. this kind of awful scenario will play out even more. It is sickening.

Have to agree that this is a very big bouncy. Now, considering the nature of the incident and the day it was on, wouldn't you think there would be some mention of it on the local news at the least? Well, out of curiosity, I googled "Man kills mother on Mother's Day then attemps to commit suicide" and guess what? The only thing matching that came up was a link to the DUmmy's thread.

Gee what a surprise [/sarcasm]

Dummys lie...they lie all the time and this is no exception.
